Milestones
Annah had a small milestone today--at least Mommy saw it as one. Annah walked all the way from the Post Office back to our house holding Mommy's hand today. That's the farthest she's really walked (actually traveling to some place) like that. Yes, I'm a very sentimental sap, thank you! ;)
In other news: My new little business of hand-crocheted items is open for customers! The website is still very much under construction, but is up enough for people to take a look if you want to! Here it is: www.craftedwithcare.com Check it out, pass it on, and please give any constructive feedback you have--positive or not-so! It is much needed! Thank you!
Annah likes to crochet too... ;)

Saint Patrick's Day
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Is it time for spring yet? We're sure ready for it!
Jeremy spent the entire 3-day weekend being Daddy and Mommy! And, he did a great job--even cooked, cleaned, and took care of Annah all by himself! On Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the Hearts At Home National Conference for stay-at-home moms, which happens to be held here in Normal, Illinois. It was thoroughly enjoyable, encouraging, inspiring, uplifting, educational, and energizing! In fact, I hope to attend both days next year!
After I got home from the conference and put Annah in bed, I came down with the flu. So, Jeremy got to spend Saturday and most of Sunday too taking care of her and Annah and the house. I'm feeling mostly better now, thank goodness.
Annah decided last night in the middle of the night that she was suddenly scared of her bed. She didn't sleep much at all during the night, and refused to nap this morning either. We decided that problem wasn't going to last. She slept in her bed for 3 hours this afternoon and is sleeping there soundly at this moment. Whew!

Water, water, everywhere and all the boards did shrink!
Our basement is flooded with hundreds (maybe thousands?) of gallons of water this morning. The only thing we can do is try to bail it out with the wet-dry vac, but it is coming in through the floor in fountains! And, it's not even raining outside.

Website, Weather, Wishes
Well, the site should be shaping up quite a bit now! I'm having fun playing with FrontPage Editor. You should notice some changes in the site soon, if you haven't already. Please excuse the in-the-meantime/in-between sloppiness! Our counter site is temporarily down, so we're surely missing some hits getting counted, but hopefully it'll be back up soon. We're having patience with them for now. ;)
We had snow over the past couple weeks, and even lost power for 12 hours last Saturday night. That was fun. But, now it is in the 50°-60° range. I guess "they" do always say that if you don't like mid-western weather, just wait around for couple hours and it will change!
Best wishes to both of Annah's Grandma's. We hope you're feeling better soon!!
Congratulations to Pastor Todd and Kim and big brother Adam on the arrival of their beautiful new baby, Jillian Grace, born February 28!
